Bruno, I have a hammock like this and I would love to hang it on our outdoor balcony in such a way that you have shown. Our balcony is covered on the top just as you show here and open to the elements on the sides. What is the the material you have used as the bedding here? Is it a pillow top? Is it indoor outdoor fabric duvet?

What Houzz contributors are saying:

Whether you want to relax with a book poolside, cuddle with your newborn in the nursery or make your attic into the kids' playhouse, hammocks are the answer. Get one today and spend the summer swinging in the breeze.

Hammocks are simple in design and require only two things to work properly: strong supports 10 to 20 feet apart. To approximate the space you will need, measure the hammock and add 1 or 2 feet for the total length between posts.
